I've been using local authentication to gain access to SMB shares and have thus far resisted using Active Directory. I'd now like to at least become familiar with AD to see what the fuss is about, so I'm dipping my big ugly toe in. The goal eventually is to automate syncing of user credentials across several FreeNAS servers, I'm a noob when it comes to AD, and the questions I'm going to ask are probably going to sound pretty dumb to those of you with AD expertise. I apologise in advance.
I believe I can use a FreeNAS server as a standalone DC. However, I get the feeling listening to @anodos that this isn't working as it should under 11.2, so should I wait till AD is moved into a jail? https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/11-1-to-11-2-ad-upgrade-issues.74356/
At this stage, I can't even get off first base (Services > Domain Controller > Configure). Referring to the attachment, it doesn't matter what password I try to set, it's not accepted in the dialogue box.
